Weird confirmation e-mail from DDD

I just placed an order on DDD, and instead of getting the usual "Your order with DeepDiscountDVD.com" e-mail from the address DeepDiscountDVD@ MAIL.INFINITYRESOURCESINC.COM that I usually get, I got a message with subject title "{Spam?} Order with DEEPDISCOUNTDVD.com" from the address deepdiscountdvd@ deepdiscountdvd.com Is this normal? I'm afraid that it can be a spammer or hacker.

I got the same thing. No spam resulted from it.

I got them too after a few orders were placed. I ended up leaving them in my inbox(unread) until I got the 2nd confirmation email. then I just deleted the 1st ones to play it safe.

So, I guess this is not an isolated event. Maybe, it's some system glitch in DDD? I also just received the normal confirmation e-mail, but I wonder where that other one came from. I'm hoping it's not another security problem, but just a minor e-mail glitch.

I've gotten this before, I think it's your email's spam filter catching the email in its net because it has several attributes in common with spam(like no name in the sender line etc).

It's their own spam filter for outgoing messages. If you look closely in the email, it says to report any false spam to an infinity resources address which is them. So, for those that are thinking that it's your spam filter... nope it's theirs.

I got this once too. It's their own spam filter flagging their own e-mails as spam. Ha!
